This is what Disney says:
The 1 p.m. virtual queue will be available to Passholders with a park reservation to any Theme Park for that day. As a reminder, Passholders must enter the theme park where they have a reservation prior to visiting Magic Kingdom Park. Or, on June 13, 14, 17, 18 or 20, they can enter Magic Kingdom Park without a reservation after 2 p.m.
I never got an alert there was a passholder preview of this ride and i just renewed my pass in march.So this is what's confusing me. The first sentence implies you won't be able to enter a VQ without a reservation somewhere ("that day")...but then the last sentence indicates that during the week you won't need one.
I'm very confused here.
Very true, but luckily it'll be standby before too long and none of this will matter anymore.Ok this is out of hand:
If WDW veterans and aficionados can’t figure it out how in the world could a first timer or casual guest know???
Disney needs to clean up its act on this vq, reservation and lighting lane nonsense. Talk about making things harder for no good reason!!
You definitely need a reservation to enter the VQ.So this is what's confusing me. The first sentence implies you won't be able to enter a VQ without a reservation somewhere ("that day")...but then the last sentence indicates that during the week you won't need one.

They change the rules so often it's hard to keep up with. Passholders can enter any park after 2 PM except for Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays (which is why the June 16th date was withheld in the announcement). My understanding is that if you don't have any park reservations, you can enter MK after 2 PM but you won't be able to join the VQ until then. Otherwise, as long as you have a reservation for any of the four parks you can join the VQ right at 1 PM, regardless of where you are.So this is what's confusing me.

My understanding is that you don’t need to have entered that park if you go to MK after 2pm on the weekday dates. But that part is ambiguous - it could be they’ve just quoted the standard wording for park reservations.
You can get a VQ before 7am if you are at the resorts?Sorry I’m sure this question has been answered. If I’m at my Disney hotel and I join the virtual Q before 7am and get a slot for the ride that’s fine. I take it it’s going to take a lot of luck to get a slot first 2 weeks of July?
The problem is that every VQ is gone within several seconds. So during the preview period, if you go directly to MK after 2pm, there will be no VQ to join.They change the rules so often it's hard to keep up with.

Purely speculating because I also don't fully understand how it works, but I'd say plan to be inside a park before 1 PM regardless to maximize your chances. Assuming you can join the VQ after entering the park without a reservation, I doubt there would be any boarding groups left by then.
That's like any VQ today. You join AT 7am.You can get a VQ before 7am if you are at the resorts?
Gotcha. I was confused because he said join before 7.That's like any VQ today. You join AT 7am.
Well, be ready before 7 to join at 7.Gotcha. I was confused because he said join before 7.
Honestly every time I've tried to get 7am slot it has never prevailed. I've tried all the tricks. Always managed to snag a 1pm tho. But probably not this time. I'll have a better chance snagging an ILL for $50 - since I'll be at the resorts.Well, be ready before 7 to join at 7.![]()
I've always hovered my thumb over "Join Virtual Queue" at 7am and tapped it as soon as the clock turns 7:00. I guess there's a knack for it. Good luck!Honestly every time I've tried to get 7am slot it has never prevailed. I've tried all the tricks. Always managed to snag a 1pm tho. But probably not this time.

No ILL for this one unfortunately - only Genie+Honestly every time I've tried to get 7am slot it has never prevailed. I've tried all the tricks. Always managed to snag a 1pm tho. But probably not this time. I'll have a better chance snagging an ILL for $50 - since I'll be at the resorts.
Why no ILL? So if I buy G+ in advance I'll be guaranteed TBA?No ILL for this one unfortunately - only Genie+
